Chemotactic response of leukocytes to cord factor (trehalose-6,6'-dimycolate)

I Ofek et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 1976 Dec.

Abstract

Cord factor (trehalose-6,6'-dimycolate), a glycolipid extractable from myocobacteria, was chemotactic for peritoneal cells of mice at concentrations from 5 to 25 mug/ml medium, as well as for peripheral white blood cells of mice and humans. At higher concentrations, presumably only macrophages were attracted.
